Venture Capitalist John Glynn is offering SDForum startup members a unique opportunity to gain exposure through his venture capital class at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. John is a seasoned venture capitalist who also teaches the fundamentals of venture capital to MBA students at Stanford each year. This could be your chance to get connected with up-and-coming Stanford VCs and pitch to three prominent venture capitalists!

Deadline to respond

5:00pm on Wednesday February 6th

Here's the opportunity:

1) SDForum startup members submit applications (including a three page executive summary covering the five key areas below) by 5pm on Wednesday February 6th.

2) John will choose five executive summaries that will then be reviewed by the students in his class. Students will provide detailed feedback in the five key areas, plus an overall score. If your company is reviewed, you will receive copies of the students' feedback (on your company only). As a side note, you should know that the students’ analyses will constitute a significant portion of their grade for the class.

3) The two companies with the highest overall student scores will be invited to come to the class on March 7th to make a 20 minute pitch to the students PLUS special guests Aneel Bhusri and Scott Sandell.

4) After the pitch, the companies will field questions and get feedback first from the class and then from Scott and Aneel, as well as John Glynn himself.

If you think you have what it takes to make the grade, apply via email to stanford@sdforum.org by 5pm on Wednesday February 6th. The application should include both the Personal Data and Executive Summary outlined below.
